Research groups: Plant-parasitic interactions
Biography
I’m a PhD student working in Sebastian Eves-van den Akker's group working on plant parasitic nematodes.
Largely our understanding of nematode parasitism is held back by the lack of tools to study them (both molecular and high throughput).
My project aims to build the solutions to allow us to study plant-plant parasitic nematode interaction more efficiently and in more detail, and how to use that knowledge to build resistance against this pest.
